I have used both Uber and Lyft without incident in a number of major USA cities while traveling on business and for personal travel. I found Lyft to be a more fluid experience because I receive less paperwork from them, which I appreciate when it comes time to complete my expense account.
We recently used the Lyft application while in TV and found the driver to be capable and experienced. As for risk of PII/NPPI information compromises using any credit platform it is a simple reality of modern life. The list of entities and locations that have been and will be compromised is nearly endless.
For those of us that use digital media it's not a question of if rather a question of when your credit information will be compromised. Credit monitoring and alerts should be part of everyone's personal risk management along with hurricane evacuation, etc. I use multifactor authentication where possible, strong pw and other tools to mitigate the risk, however nothing is foolproof.
Welcome to the modern digital world!
